2nd Skywalk branch to open Monday

War Memorial Hospital will open the second branch of its new Skywalk on Monday, Oct. 15 at 8 a.m.

The section that crosses over Osborn Boulevard from the parking structure will open to pedestrians on that date. Patients will cross the Skywalk and use the elevator or stairs to get to ground level.

The hospital’s South Entrance will not be complete until Nov. 13, so patients who use the Skywalk will exit and then use the outdoor sidewalk to gain access to the Spruce Street (emergency room) entrance of the building.

The south entrance opening on Nov. 13 will be the final step in keeping patients out of the elements when traveling between the hospital, medical office building, and parking structure.
